I own a 2007 Toyota Camry Solara with less than 70,400 miles. It’s up to date on maintenance and is garaged. In December 2020, while garaged, my entire dashboard cracked without warning. After researching the condition, I learned that hundreds of Camrys and Solaras were affected and that Toyota replaced some dashboards under an extended warranty program… one such ZE6 program expired in August 2020. I was not notified. Despite the tremendous safety issue (the entirety of the car’s electronics sits beneath the dashboard including the airbags which, if deployed, can hurl dashboard pieces throughout the interior and blind and disfigure driver and passengers alike). Incredibly, neither Toyota nor the federal safety agency has issued a recall. Toyota Corp/dealership will do nothing at their expense. I Iive in fear that if my car is bumped or tapped, I’ll be maimed by flying dashboard debris; this puts my passengers and pedestrians at risk as well. Please help me get my dashboard replaced before something unthinkable happens. Thank you.

The dash of my 2007 toyota camry solara began to melt and crack in 2012, creating an extremely sticky surface as well as a severe glare on the windshield. This has continued to worsen over the last two years. The stickiness and glare worsen with high temperatures which is a critical issue when living in florida. Even when I travel to northern states in the winter, the stickiness and severe glare does not completely go away in freezing temperatures. I can gently touch my dash and leave a finger imprint at any time of the year and in any temperature. The glare greatly reduces the driver's visibility at any time of the year however, during the hottest months of the year the glare is so severe that it is nearly impossible to see what is ahead. I have nearly been in accidents and have come close to hitting pedestrians in parking lots because of the severe glare. I have resorted to "bobbing and weaving" to find an area of the windshield I can see through (typically a one-inch area where the air vent is reflecting very low on the windshield) or even rolling down the side window to stick my head out during situations such as these. I can only imagine that this will continue to worsen with time. This is a major safety concern and needs to be rectified immediately! This issue needs to be addressed by the manufacturer before an accident occurs!

I called toyota dealer and told them, they took pictures and acknowledged defective parts. I was told it would cost me $250.00 for labor as the new dash would cost them $1500.00, I argued this was unacceptable and unfair that I would have to pay being their fault.
